Predicting the chances of patient’s survival following one year of medical treatment
摘要
Healthcare managers continuously strive to enhance service quality and patient satisfaction. Predicting one-year survival post-treatment is crucial for evaluating hospital performance and identifying key survival factors. This study compares nine machine learning models using a dataset of 25,079 patient records from a Greenland hospital with 18 variables. Evaluating multiple models ensures the selection of the best-performing one, a standard practice in machine learning. Notably, XGBoost and Gradient Boosting achieved the highest accuracy, with AUCs of 0.90 and 0.91, respectively. These findings underscore the role of machine learning in improving treatment assessment and guiding data-driven decisions for better patient care.
